We sat across the table staring into silence, so much was said, without spoken words. Wrap in the arms of loneliness while our presence is so near

Who have we become?How did we become the monsters within?While only seeking love,I hurt you and you hurt me.

Tic toc, where has time gone?. All the moments we’ve lost while searching for new ones. Those moments that never came

The leaves are changing again. Another season has come and gone. Shattered dreams, forgotten promises, we fail love, We fought the wrong war.
